I got a new radio today, kinda crappy pic, but im suprised it hooked right up and bolted right in no problems whatsoever. Even the steering wheel controls. Work

Now that I have it, im kind of inspired to try a few other things from the same car... it came from an 01 GTP

Thoughts?

 

GM trys to keep the same hookups to make things simple.Not like FORD....

 

So why did you switch to another OEM unit? Better performance? It looks pretty futurisitc for being a OEM part. I give you a thumbs up!! Now pay attention to not bankrupt yourself with more mods....LOL it's easy to do...

 

Nah, I wanted a new radio and to be able to use the steering wheel controls again, and a friend of mine needed a new radio.
I sold him my old aftermarket blaupunkt new orleans for $50 and picked this one up for $20.

I know gm likes to make things like THAT fit, but the gauge cluster is a differant connector type. Im thinking about switching the HVAC controls and steering wheel controls for the ones from that car if they plug right in.

 

Aside from that, I like being able to set my own equalizer curve, it just sounnds much better to me.

Now there was another connector on the back that mine didn't have and i didn't use, everything still works fine, but does anyone know what it is? Im thinking an amp

 

 

Now you gotta make sure that the rest of your lights are all red to match.

 

I like the fact that it has an EQ. looks good

 

i like the EQ and the red display on that. big question though do the lights in the buttons work??

 

Nice..
